Why pictures of your newborn are so important

You’re excited to meet your little one; you’ve prepared the room, chosen the clothing and selected outfits for all occasions. Of course, every mum and dad believes they will remember all those beautiful little poses and moments that their newborn babies express. And then reality sets in.

Endless nappy changes, sleepless nights and regular feeds start to blur the days, and before you know it, you’ve missed out on those first precious weeks. You want to believe that you are going to remember every single moment, but it’s over quicker than you think and those sleepless nights mean that you’ll easily forget a lot of meaningful stuff. That’s why it’s important to capture this special time for posterity with a newborn photography session.

Our brains are not designed to retain all the images of everything our babies do, unless of course you have a photographic memory. The answer is to capture those moments the old-fashioned way; with real photography.

The first weeks

The first few weeks when your little one is sleepy and curled up are the most precious. Everything is so raw and new; it is such a special time for any family.

To ensure you can capture those moments, photographers recommend that you have photos taken 6-10 days after giving birth. That’s a time when you have still had a decent amount of sleep and can still look at your child through clear eyes.

Those looks

You never stop looking at your newborn without an overwhelming sense of absolute love and adoration, and there’s no better way to capture this than with beautifully taken photographs.

From the moment your little one arrives life is about overwhelming expressions of all-consuming love; those sweet loving looks, cute little fingers and toes, and pure innocence are what makes your world go around. It’s these moments that you want to remember forever.

The tiny details

Those hands, rosebud lips, tiny toes, little bud nose and wisps of hair change so quickly. Many parents have said that when looking back on pictures of these tiny details they’re transported back to those moments when they can smell their little ones’ newness, and remember the feel their soft hair and skin.

Posterity

Parents are the ones who want to keep pictures of their newborns because they can never get these moments back. But there’s more to it than that. Images of your children will also become important to them as they grow up.
